Took our first ever RV trip. Site was lovely and the owners even better. Awesome experience will definitely be back. Book early as it gets busy.

Great little gem! Just off the highway. Friendly, clean and nice little beach. Washrooms clean with good water pressure. Laundry worked well.

This is my first year at Cripple Creek, I'm very happy that I made the decision to plant my flag here. The sites are very spacious and well treed for privacy and weather protection. The entire campground is ery well maintained and clean. Jackie and Mike are very friendly and accommodating. I particularly love that there is no wifi which allows me to disconnect from the electronic world.

We stayed one night during our trans canada trip. Cripple Creek Campground is absolutely a nightmare! No sewer and no WIFI is not the worst, the worst thing is no shower!!! Two showers in the dirty bathroom didn't work!!! I know all the 5stars comments are fake!!! Don't believe them one word! Remember no sewer! no WIFI ! no shower!!! This is the worst campground I have ever seen in Canada! If there is 0 star, I will choose 0, but 1 star is the least!

This is our first summer at Cripple Creek Campground and we love it! Unlike so many other seasonal campgrounds we looked at last year, this campground has large sites with plenty of trees that offer a lot of privacy. There is also a beautiful beach that we love to hang out at on hot summer days. The snack shack offers a variety of food items so you can enjoy snacks or lunch right on the beach. Kids and grandkids can also enjoy the playground nearby. Mike and Jackie do a great job of keeping the campground looking beautiful and planning fun events throughout the summer. We have gotten to know a lot of nice people here and many of them have been here for a long time. This summer has gone by way too fast and we can hardly wait to come back next year. We highly recommend this family-friendly campground.
